A CHINESE FESTIVAL.
IIOnorins the Dead at Point LObns-Two
1h"u>and COrpses to go Back 10
China.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 4

T.
Yesterday was one Of the three great fes-
iivals in the year when the Chinese of this
ciy 90 out to Point Lobos cemetery and feast
the souls of their departed. From o'clock
in the morning till noon there were thou
sands of Mongolians placing meat offerings
on the graves and burning joss sticks and
fire crackers. The procession of hacks and
wagons numbered about 500 and the debris
lett on the ground after The affair was a sight
to see. There was a whole sale gathering of
tramps and dogs in the evening for moon.
light Chinese dinner.
The white superintendent of the Mongolan
burial ground estimates that the number of
corpses for shipment back to China will ex-
ceed 2000 for the season. All the exhuma-
tions will have to be performed under gov
ernment supervision before the removal
from the cemetery will be allowed. The
corpses must have been under ground for
two years and then they are not allowed in
the city limits unless Theoretically packed,
There is not the slightest indication of the
Chinese giving up this custom of shipping
back their dead to China, ,and except with con-
verts to Christianity the rule is always fol-
lowed. 1t il very costly custom and i'm
posts on it are increasing, but these are met
by the rich Chinese corporations who under
take the matter.

Torpedoes Placed on Street Car Tracks
Nobody Hurt.

New YORK. April 4.
A Patterson, N j., despatch says: loud
explosion, followed almost immediately by
another at Market and Main streets, at 1.3o
last night startled the neighoorhood and Gre
ated panic in the crowded thoroughiares.
Some mlscreant had placed torpedoes on the
street car tracks and the bombs had exploded
under the car. Fortunately the force of the
explosion was expended on the iron trucks of
the cars. which were badly shattered, but no.
body wa, hurt.
All efforts to find the authors of the out
rage we're unavailing. This is the third at
tempt that has been made recently in Patter-

walls that all three attempts we're msde by
the same person or persons, and redouoied
efforts will be made to discover the offenders.

Ticket by Safe Pluralties.

DETROIT, Mich, April l.
full vote was poIed today on the prohi-
bition amendment in the southern part of the
State, while in the upper peninsula, the vot-
ing was interfered with BY the heavy fall of
snow. So far as reported, at 10 P. NJ, the
amendment had been strongly opposed in the
cities, but the country vote seems likely to
overcome this. The woman were present at
the polls all day working for prohibition.
Ballots were also cast today for two justices
of the State supreme court, two regents Of
the State University. and an amendment to
the constitution for the increase of the sala-
ries of the State officers.
The returns are yet incomplete, but enough
is known to show that the republicans elected
the State ticket by a safe plurality.
